Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Corn tortillas (8)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green) (2, diced)
  • Zucchini (1 medium, diced)
  • Red onion (1 small, diced)
  • Mushrooms (button or cremini) (1 cup, sliced)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Avocado (1, sliced)
  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
  2. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast and coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  5. To assemble the tacos, spoon the cooked vegetable mixture onto each warm tortilla.
  6. Top each taco with slices of avocado and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
